MANGO-SHAKE - A refreshing Indian summer drink
This is a delicious, refreshing, and easy-to-make drink for
hot summer days.
INGREDIENTS (6 12-oz drinks)
1 lb mango pulp (See note)
6 cups whole milk
3 Tbsp sugar
12 ice cubes
PROCEDURE
(1) Put half of the mango pulp, 3 cups of milk, 1 1/2
Tbsp of sugar, and 6 ice cubes into the blender.
Blend until smooth. Serve.
(2) Repeat step 1, quickly, as people will already be
asking for more.
NOTES
Canned mango pulp is available in Indian and Latin American
grocery stores. The "mango nectar" that is widely available
in American grocery stores does not have nearly enough man-
goes per unit volume to make this drink. If you are lucky
enough to be able to get fresh mangoes, you can use the
flesh of one ripe mango for about 1 cup of the mango pulp;
if you do that, increase the amount of sugar to 2 Tbsp per
batch, as canned mango pulp always has added sugar.
You can make interesting variations on this recipe by using
plain yogurt for some or all of the milk, and by adding a
tart counterbalance to the mangoes, such as shredded
kiwifruit.
